JOIST OR BEAM SUPPORT OB ANCHOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 5, 15111.

Application filed July 8, 1916. Serial No. 108,161. 7

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CALVIN F. HALL, a natural born citizen of the United' States, in the county of Menard and State of Illinois, have invented certain useful Improvements in J oist or Beam Supports orAnchors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to improvements injoist or beam supports or anchors, one object of the invention being the provision of a metal attachment adapted to be secured to the end of the floor or ceilingjoist or beam to engage the masonry wall without necessitating the ends of the joist or beam being V embedded therein.

A further object of this invention is the provision of a novel construction of joist anchor which will permit of the laying of the brick in the wall close to such anchor, rigidly support the joist to the wall.

In the accompanying drawin s:

Figure '1 is aside elevation o the present device showing one end of the joist and the adjacent portion of a wall. s

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof.

Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the anchor per se in inverted position.

Referring to the drawings,the numeral 5 designates the joist and 6 the masonry wall.

The anchor 7 is made of two joist engaging plates of metal 8 and 9, for attachment 'to the sides of the joist 5 and each one of whiich is fornllled. to piroilride the offset in; clu in a rig t angu ar y extendmg' jo'is on agi i flange 10 for attachment to the en of t e joist by the fastening devices 11 and the wall engaging wing 12. Each Wing wall engaging lip 13 arranged m'the plane of the upper edge ofthe flange 10 and flush with the side face of the'adjacent plate; A'.

troduction between the extending flan downwardly extending enga lug 14 oi each wing is formed on the outer end edge and is arranged in spaced arallel relation to the adjacent flange en The extreme edge of each wing lies in substantial alinement with thelugs and is inclined downwardly asat 15; When the present device is assembled, the rightangled wings liefl1 1sh together, and are adapted to fit the space between two or more bricks, while the bricks occupy the space below the flanges and within the lips, the portion of the wallv above being laid upon the flanges.

In this we metal plates are anchored in the wall, an as the thickness of the metal employed is such as to emit of their inyers of bricks, it is apparent that an exceedingly strong anchorage is provided; q i

It is also apparent that with an anchorage of this type, the end of the joist is pro from dampness from the wall. WhatI claim as new is:-- r A joist. anchor including a pair of engagmg with the si es of the oistadjacent one end,

joist end of the joist, and wall projecting. at right end of each flange an in close parallel relation with each other, a wall engagin lip extendmg' irom the upper edge of 68.5 wing and in the plane of the upper edge of the plates and i terminating flush with the outer si e' of the adjacent plates, and an ancho extending downwardly at right angles the outer end ed in spaced pa all relation with the'adjaoent 6S- I Iii testimony whereof I aflix my lates adapted for engagement faces 1 Q ,m of eachhp and arranged 8'5
